How to Trade the Big Swings in Oil

[Trading With Larry Benedict]( Larry’s Note: Many people want to make more money with less risk. That’s a challenging feat, of course. And when you look at volatile assets like Bitcoin, it can seem downright impossible. But I haven’t given up on looking for a way to profit from Bitcoin without being vulnerable to its periodic crashes – not to mention the occasional security breaches and hacks on crypto exchanges. The good news is that, roughly 18 months ago, I found what I was looking for. Using the strategy I’ve developed, you can [make even better money than Bitcoin]( – without holding a single cent of crypto. I call this strategy “Bitcoin skimming.” That’s why I’m putting together an event where I’ll explain exactly how it works. And I hope you’ll [join me there](.

How to Trade the Big Swings in Oil By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict Oil has been particularly volatile lately. From June to September, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rallied by 33%. But after hitting its peak on September 27, the oil price dropped sharply, losing around 13% in just over a week. Despite these big swings, oil is currently trading around the same level it was 12 months ago. And this wild ride caught up the VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH) in its action. OIH’s holdings include oil field service companies like Halliburton (HAL) and Baker Hughes (BKR). After oil’s recent big swings, today I want to check out what’s coming next for OIH… Recommended Link [Shocking Footage from San Francisco Reveals Elon's New Project]( [image]( A legendary investor just released [this shocking footage from the streets of San Francisco.]( And it reveals Elon Musk's “project Omega.” If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's not your fault. The corrupt mainstream media isn't covering this story. But every American deserves to see what's happening because this is guaranteed to affect all 331 million Americans one way or another.

VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH) [Image] Source: eSignal Within these major moves, the 10-day MA (red line) has seen lots of smaller swings, too. These back-and-forth moves coincided with changes in momentum, which you can see in the relative strength index (RSI) in the bottom half of the chart. But I want to concentrate on June. That rally got underway with the RSI initially breaking up through resistance (green line). It accelerated as the RSI climbed inside the upper half of its range. But growing divergence (orange lines) between the stock price and the RSI (making higher highs and lower highs, respectively) eventually led to a reversal. Then, the RSI tested and held support in August. This formed the base for OIH to rally… But this time, the RSI formed an inverse “V” and retraced from overbought territory (upper gray dashed line). That caused OIH to lock in and retrace from its peak at “A.” Momentum fell through September, shown by the RSI sinking from overbought to near oversold territory (lower gray dashed line). That saw OIH lose 13% before it formed a trough at the start of this month. So, with OIH trying to break higher, what am I looking for from here?

Take another look: VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH) [Image] Source: eSignal So what happens next will be key. If the RSI can gain a firm footing in the upper half of its upper range, that will continue to drive OIH higher. The next test for OIH will be to take out its recent high at “A” ($364.08). Another bullish signal is that OIH recently closed above its 50-day MA. If the 10-day MA next crosses above the 50-day MA and starts to accelerate higher, it’ll add further evidence of OIH resuming its uptrend.
